Having a lot a trouble viewing any objects. Eclipse starts up, and can
create a BPMN project, but any BPMN elements in the pool (e.g the initial
task shape) disappear. I can only see them when I click on the down arrow
in the top left corner of the pool - sorry don't know what the icon is
called) and it disappears immediately afterwards.

So I'm stuggling to create *anything*, and I figure something's wrong with
my set up.

You will have to select a mirror. Then you can see a list of all the
features that have been delivered for 3.4M5.

Go and select the BPMN modeler in the SOA Tools category. That should
raise errors regarding its dependencies. Don't panic, just click on
Select Required to get them all. If that doesn't work, expand the tree
(that's a known bug that the update committers will just not work on),
then click on Select Required again.

You should be able to install the whole thing that way. Apologies for
not giving the right directions the first time.

I tried another way before reading your reply, and have been up and
running with STP for a few days now (there's a lot to be said for brute
force and ignorance).

I downloaded both eclipse-platform-3.3.1.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz and "STP
0.7.0.200711162004 All In One". This may not be optimum in terms of
functionality, but at least it works for me "out of the box".

My background is SAP workflow, and this vendor is planning to move to a
BPMN code -generating approach, so I was very keen to become familiar
with BPMN, in an end-user capacity. I must say you guys have created an
awesome product here.

I have been using the BPMN both as user and developer for several months,
and have always liked to be up-to-date with the latest improvements in
each milestone. I know how to get a good stp-bpmn running, but I want to
see what's new in 3.4M5. However, at this time i'm having trouble, getting
the following error when creating or opening a model:

Like I said, I know how to get your plugin working on another version,
Europa for instance, but I haven't been able to do so in Ganymede for this
reason. I'd dare to say it's something related to the new releases of EMF
or GMF, but I wouldn't be sure about how to fix it :(
